2.5/4  Here we go again
I really enjoyed Mamma Mia! and you could tell the cast really enjoyed making it. The singing is good not great, Brosnan is kind of bad but its kind of endearing in him. If you hate Abba you obviously will not enjoy the music. It was ni... (read full)

2.5/4  Engaging, but dopey
An engaging, but dopey musical that celebrates the music of ABBA and the bonds of a mother and her daughter and the men in their lives; it's fun for awhile, but becomes repetitive and doesn't give enough of a satisfying conclusion. Final... (read full)

4/4  Mamma Mia! Full of Talent and Laughs
Mamma Mia! is a very lighthearted, funny musical that actually transferred well from stage to screen! Meryl Streep was surprisingly fantastic as Donna, whose daughter Sophie (a very talented Amanda Seyfried) is getting married and wants he... (read full)

3/4  A Musical That Celebrates Flaws
I thought I would dislike this movie because I’m not a fan of musicals nor am I a big fan of ABBA (even though I’m familiar with some of their songs). What saved and (surprisingly enough) elevated this picture is its sheer enthusiasm to en... (read full)

4/4  Will Have You Singing Along
I am a sucker for musical's and thought this one was very well done. The song choices fit perfectly in with the story and most of the actor's and actresses could actually hold a tune, well with the exception of Pierce Brosnan. I also loved... (read full)

1/4  MamaMia Here We Go Again MyMy I Should've Resisted
I'm not sure why people think that everything can be transferred onto screen. While I have never seen Mamma Mia on Broadway it has proven to be very successful since it has been there for ages. Sometimes I think that critics wants somethin... (read full)

1/4  Mamma Mia! Quick Review
One of the worst movies I have seen this year. Some of the music numbers are good (and familiar) but that doesn't make the movie good. Bad acting, bad story and too much singing. Only slightly better than Dreamgirls. Miss it.

2/5 The track list is WRONG!!
  by katertott (dallas, texas)
If you're buying this because "Chiquitita" (which should have been on the original release) is listed as being on the CD in this new version, save your money because it is NOT. One of the main reasons I bought this was so that I could finally have that song.

The other reason I wanted this was for the DVD since the description gave me the impression that there would be a good "behind the scenes" look at the recording session for the CD. The "Behind the Music" featurette is 12 minutes 39 seconds long. There's a great deal of footage from various stage productions around the world, old footage of ABBA, clips from the movie but VERY LITTLE footage of the recording of the CD. For what it's worth, I haven't actually watched the featurette yet, I've just fast forwarded through it to get an idea of what's in it so I can write this review, but from what I've seen, it's not at all what I was expecting.

You'll be hard-pressed to find a bigger fan of this movie and soundtrack than me. I've seen the movie more times than I should probably admit and the CD hasn't left the CD player in my car since it came out. The second I found out about this "deluxe edition" of the soundtrack, I pre-ordered it. I can honestly say that I wish I had saved my money. There's no difference in the CD's themselves, all you're paying for is the new packaging, a 12 minute featurette that very easily could have (and probably should have) been included on the DVD release of the movie, and the video for "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme" which is included on the two-DVD special edition of the movie. If you don't already own the soundtrack then yes, this is worth buying but if you do already have the original release from July then this one really isn't worth it.

1/5 Mamma Mia Deluxe Edition Soundtrack Album Falls Short!
  by Show Toons
Decca Broadway has completely missed the mark on this "deluxe" release! Most people I know are interested in the Mamma Mia Deluxe Edition soundtrack only because they thought the new CD would contain the songs that were missing from the original release, namely "Chiquititta," "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do," and "Waterloo." Well folks, put your wallets and pocketbooks away, because the CD-portion of this set is identical to the original release right down to the track order and the DVD is skimpy to put it mildly... most of which will probably end up as bonus features on the DVD anyway! In short, save your money for the DVD release and be sure to write Decca Records asking them what the heck happened to the missing songs from the movie!

1/5 What a let down
  by JC (Göteborg, Sweden)
Can't believe I bought this! Only wanted it because of the extra tracks - I do, I do, I do and Chiquitita - and they're not there. Should have been included from the beginning as should Waterloo.
And the DVD featurette is nothing I haven't already seen - except fore some additional photage from the recording sessions it's the same as on the DVD edition.

Anyways, if you don't have this soundtrack it's definitly a must. Haven't stopped playing it since I saw the movie the first time last summer. Otherwise, let's just say it's wasted money.

1/5 Worst decision!
  by Sarah Gilbert
I can't believe I bought this thinking it would have the missing songs from the movie which is the whole reason WHY I bought it to begin with! I'm very disappointed and the short dvd it came with with behind the music was too short! I expected more for my money.

2/5 Waste
  by D. Reed (Elkton, MD USA)
I bought this, as I'm sure a lot of people did, thinking that Chiquitita, I Do, I Do and Waterloo would be included. Adding to the confusion is that amazon lists the first two as included in the CD. Don't pay any mind to that. The same eighteen songs are present along with a new DVD, which will probably feature on the movie's DVD release anyway. Buy it if you want but you're getting nothing new.
